Bitcoin Surges Amid Political Developments
In a striking contrast to the political upheaval in France, Bitcoin has emerged as an asset of choice, surpassing the monumental $100,000 mark for the first time. The upward trajectory coincided with Donald Trump's appointment of Paul Atkins to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), reflecting a favorable political environment for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. This surge has seen Bitcoin appreciating over 130% year-to-date, bolstered by institutional involvement and market optimism towards regulatory changes under the incoming administration.
